Is there a way to specify both a fixed width and a custom resizable length for a Spring <form:textarea /> element?

Despite extensive research, I have yet to find an answer to my specific problem. Within a model window, I have a textarea element:

<div class="form-group">
    <label for="groupDescription" class="col-sm-2 control-label">
            Description: </label>
    <div class="col-sm-10">
        <form:textarea path="groupDescription" cssClass="form-control" />
        <form:errors path="groupDescription" />
    </div>
</div>

The textarea automatically matches the width of other input forms in the window, which is good. However, there is an issue where users can resize the width of the textarea beyond the modal window borders. How can I prevent this width resizing? Additionally, I would like to set a limit on the length, such as "2 rows maximum, but not exceeding 10 rows". Is there a way to achieve this without using JavaScript? Thank you in advance! :)

P.S. Apologies for modifying the title.

Answer №1

To restrict resizing to only vertical, simply add resize: vertical; to your CSS.

Answer №2

To stop the textarea from resizing, all you need to do is include the CSS attribute resize: none; in your textarea class.

Other than that, there is no distinction between the <form:textarea> and the html textarea. It appears as a regular textarea in the browser, which can be confirmed by inspecting the browser source.

If you want to only allow resizing of its length, you can utilize resize: vertical;
